The probe centers around the alleged embezzlement of GHC1.3 billion from the Unified Petroleum Pricing Fund (UPPF) at the NPA.
At a press briefing on February 12, 2025, the OSP announced that the investigation primarily targets Hamid, as well as three other NPA staff members: Jacob Amoah, Coordinator of the UPPF; Freda Acheampong; and Wendy Ashong Newman.
